Japanese Research for Patients With Non-metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer – Enzalutamide

Overview

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of enzalutamide in patients with non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. The total duration of the study will be 5 years. All patients will receive enzalutamide 160 mg (four 40 mg capsules) orally once daily. The treatment will be started at Visit 0 within one week after enrollment. Visit 1 is at 2 weeks after the treatment started; clinical assessments are conducted on adverse events and the Japanese version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) scales. Patients who are considered to be adequate by the investigator can continue the treatment with 12-week cycle visit (counted from initial dose) until patients meet withdrawal criteria. Patients will be followed up at 2 and 3 years after enrollment and at 3 years after the last participant enrollment. The end of the study is defined as follow-up assessment date at 3 years after the last participant enrollment. Patients will primarily be assessed by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression-free survival (PFS).

Interventions

  • Drug: Enzalutamide
    • All patients will receive enzalutamide 160 mg (four 40 mg capsules) orally once daily. The treatment will be started at Visit 0 within one week after enrollment. Visit 1 is at 2 weeks after the treatment started; clinical assessments are conducted on adverse events and the Japanese version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) scales. Patients who are considered to be adequate by the investigator can continue the treatment with 12-week cycle visit (counted from initial dose) until patients meet withdrawal criteria. Patients will be followed up at 2 and 3 years after enrollment and at 3 years after the last participant enrollment.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Enzalutamide Group

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • PSA-progression-free survival (PSA-PFS)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • Prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression-free survival is defined as time from date of initial dose until the date of first confirmed PSA progression (an increase in PSA of >= 25% and >= 2 ng/ml above the nadir after initial dose) or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first.

Secondary Measures

  • Overall survival (OS)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • OS is defined as time from date of initial dose until date of death from any cause.
  • Progression-free survival (PFS)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • PFS is defined as time from date of initial dose until the date of first confirmed progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first.
  • Metastasis free survival (MFS)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • MFS is defined as time from date of initial dose until the date of first metastasis which confirmed by computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy.
  • Time-to-PSA-progression (TTPP)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • TTPP is defined as time from date of initial dose until the date of first confirmed PSA progression (an increase in PSA of >= 25% and >= 2 ng/ml above the nadir after initial dose).
  • PSA response rate
    • Time Frame: At week 2, and every 12 weeks for up to 6 years after initial dose
    • PSA response rate is defined as ratio of patients who have an decrease in PSA of >= 50% above baseline, compared to PSA levels at week 2, every 12 weeks for up to 5 years after initial dose.
  • Time to first use of chemotherapy (TFC)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • TFC is defined as time from date of initial dose until the date of first additional chemotherapy started for prostate cancer.
  • QOL assessment using Japanese version of the FACT-P scales
    • Time Frame: Baseline, week 2, week 60, at withdrawal of treatment and at end of treatment for up to 6 years
    • Quality of life (QOL) is assessed on both total scores and each domain scores using Japanese version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) scales at baseline, week 2, week 60, withdrawal of treatment and at the end of treatment for up to 5 years.
  • Medication adherence (dosage)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • Medication adherence is assessed in dosage of enzalutamide.
  • Medication adherence (duration)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • Medication adherence is assessed in duration of enzalutamide.
  • Medication adherence (ratio)
    • Time Frame: 6 years
    • Medication adherence is assessed in dosage rate of enzalutamide which is classfied into 3 categories: 1) >=80%, 2) >= 50% to < 80%, and 3) < 50%.
  • Safety assessment on the incidence and severity of adverse events using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0
    • Time Frame: 6 years
